A new year always brings new energy, new trends and new opportunities. In 2021, several job and career options are expected to grow faster than previously, presenting a variety of options for job seekers across the globe.
Following are some of the hottest jobs on the 2021 market:
Computer pros. Whether you are a software developer, IT user support or a systems analyst, you are in luck next year—and for many, many years to come. Not only are these positions well paid and often flexible in terms of hours and location, but they are recession-proof. Because there is such a variety in terms of positions, some of these coveted positions do not even require an advanced degree. If you are comfortable with technology and problem-solving, you will likely have your pick of jobs in both the short and long term.
Nurses and nurse practitioners: As the demand for quality healthcare continues to grow, so does the need for qualified registered nurses and nurse practitioners. Again, these positions offer great starting salaries with plenty of room for growth in addition to ample openings in locations across the country. You will need a bachelor’s degree to work as a nurse and a master’s degree to serve as a nurse practitioner and both career paths will give you the chance to make a real difference in the world.
Construction: The building boom has not slowed down, despite a global pandemic, which means the need for qualified construction workers and construction managers remains high. If you are good at managing materials, schedules and budgets while working with your hands, this might be the ideal industry for you. Manufacturing jobs are also anticipated to grow in 2021.
Teachers. Just like healthcare professionals, the pandemic has pointed out the importance of great teachers for students of all ages. Elementary school teachers, in particular, are in demand right now. Teachers definitely work hard, but they can always reap a wealth of rewards from such an important job.
Electricians. Whether you work for a local business or start your own company, electricians are always in need. With solid starting salaries, electricians provide a skilled service.
Other key opportunities in the year to come include speech pathology, digital marketing, financial management, accounting and HR.
